Sl\u00e1n Abhaile – Goodbye<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sl\u00e1n Abhaile<\/em> means ‘goodbye’ but it literally means ‘safe home,’ which I think is pretty fitting for today’s blog!<\/p>\n

5 months ago I relocated and started to build a new life and ‘home’ in the south of France. It was always a dream of mine and it was made possible thanks to my Irish citizenship! Unfortunately, this means that this will be my last update to the Irish blog as I continue on my own personal journey.<\/p>\n

I have enjoyed sharing and growing with you all as an Irish learner, paying respect and tribute to my Irish heritage<\/a> and newly received citizenship, and I will certainly miss sharing with all of you!<\/p>\n

As they say with any journey, including a linguistic one: t\u00fas maith leath na hoibre <\/em><\/strong>(a good start is half the work). Subscribing to this blog for some of you may have been the start of your Irish language journey. Just because the blog may be ending doesn’t mean your own personal journey with Irish must end! Transparent Language Online<\/a> is just one of many resources; I would also suggest checking out Bitesize Irish<\/a> to practice your \"\"Gaeilge Gach L\u00e1<\/strong> <\/em>(Irish every day).<\/p>\n
